The OPP have confirmed that former NHL enforcer Bob Probert has died after being rushed to hospital with vital signs absent after collapsing in a boat on Lake St. Clair on Monday.

Windsor radio station AM 800 CKLW first reported that emergency crews performed CPR on the former Red Wings and Blackhawks' forward and then transported him to Windsor Regional Hospital where efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

The Probert family has called a news conference at 6pm local time at Windsor Regional Hospital to issue a statement.

One of the most feared fighters in the history of the NHL, the Windsor native scored 163 goals and added 221 assists and whoppinig 3,300 penalty minutes in 935 career NHL games.

While Probert's bouts with the likes of Tie Domi and Marty McSorley were legendary, he was also an incredibly skilled player who played in the 1988 NHL All-Star game. A star on the ice, Probert battled his demons off the ice, including well documented problems with the law as well as alcohol and substance abuse.

Probert was 45 years old.

As well as being the premier tough guy in the NHL, he also scored the last ever goal at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Can't I'm surprised. Years of drug and alcohol abuse probably did his organs in. Too bad, definitely one of the better skilled tough guys the game has seen.

Baddest dude I ever saw fight in the NHL - in terms of longevity as the "heavyweight champ" of the league.

President of the "Essex County Enforcer Club." Nice man. Maniac on the hockey rink. Underrated player, skill-wise. Too many demons in his real life.

Remember that fight he had in Joe Louis that went on for like 2+ minutes? I think it was on one of Don Cherry's Rock Em Sock Em videos. Both combatants were laying haymakers back and forth and were dog tired by the end. But not tired enough to give each other a pat on the shoulder. The crowd was insane and all the players were banging their sticks against the boards in appreciation. You hardly see that in hockey anymore.

Bob Probert, one of NHL's toughest fighters ever has died at age 45. He collapsed on a boat with no vital signs.

Most likely culmination of drugs and alcohol.

Truly sad. I'm sure the ghouls and clowns will bring up his battles in life.

Let's show a little respect.

Although I respected his privacy and didn't talk to him, I saw him and some of his Red Wings teammmates at a bar 22 years ago. He looked every bit as tough as he was on the ice. Rest in peace.
